Can't attach VS Code to container inside of remote machine (but attaching shell works)

[awesomebytes]

Hello, I'm trying to attach VS Code to a docker container running in a remote machine.

• Issue Type: Bug
• Extension Name: vscode-docker
• Extension Version: 1.5.0
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04
• VSCode version: 1.48.2

My workflow looks like:

1. Open a VS Code instance on a local project.
2. From there, use VS Code Remote to get a VS Code instance in a remote machine.
3. In this remote VS Code instance, I can see the Docker containers available in that machine. If I right click and choose Attach Shell I correctly get a shell in that remote machine docker container. However, if I right click and choose Attach Visual Studio Code I get the list of Docker containers in my local machine on the top-center commandline-like bar instead of the remote one (that I just right-clicked).

I've reported this worded differently as they also have a functionality to attach to docker containers in the VS Code Remote plugin repo: microsoft/vscode-remote-release#2514

Where I've also added this video/gif showing this workflow:

Given attaching a shell works, I find unintuitive that attaching VS Code doesn't.

@awesomebytes The "Attach Shell" command is ours but the "Attach VS Code" one actually belongs to the Remote - Containers extension, they use some of VS Code's capabilities to make it show up in our menu. Nevertheless, they'll have to take a look in microsoft/vscode-remote-release#2514. Sorry!
